The Best Conference Rooms in Istanbul for Prestigious Events

Unlock the city’s most prestigious meeting venues and conference rooms guaranteed to host unique events and celebrations.

Set on the water’s edge in the heart of Istanbul in prime location, Mandarin Oriental Bosphorus, Istanbul is minutes from the central business district, and less than an hour’s drive from the city’s two international airports (Istanbul International and Sabiha Gökçen), making it an ideal meeting point for attendees travelling internationally and a meeting point for the local elite. For guests who want to make a grand entrance, unique arrivals and departures by boat can also be arranged.

Three lavish ballrooms set the stage for standout corporate events in Istanbul. Dominating the lobby floor is the jaw-dropping 900sqm Bosphorus Ballroom, ideal for gatherings of up to 1,000 people. Connected to a foyer and an ample Bosphorus-front outdoor terrace, the ballroom also leads on to gardens manicured with exacting precision for a setting of mirage-like loveliness. Bosphorus Ballroom is an extremely convenient venue with its dedicated entrance from the hotel drop-off, allowing guests to access the setting directly. On B2 Floor you’ll find the 600sqm Jasmine Ballroom and the 285sqm Melissa Ballroom – both of which can be split into two sections or used in their entirety – featuring an open kitchen, daylit pre-function foyer area and state-of-the-art audio visual equipment. This choice of ballrooms presents organisers with myriad options that are bound to make a profound impression on delegates attending anything from product launches to international symposiums.

For elite corporate events, make a statement in the 890sqm Crystal Event Room. This stunning double-height, loft-style space features a one-of-a-kind open-air atrium that adds a natural spotlight to proceedings, while the minimalist backdrop creates a blank canvas that can be adorned with decorations for one-off occasions and celebrations.

Six hotel meeting rooms are available in a variety of sizes and themes, from the stately, modern aesthetic of the Alisya Meeting Room to the snug setting of the Erguvan Meeting Room. Each can be arranged in a variety of ways, from theatre to classroom-style, depending on your needs, with a range of technical operations on offer. Add gravitas to key meetings in the surrounds of the Oriental Room, which, inspired by historic train carriages, is one of the most atmospheric and unique conference rooms in Istanbul, with a manned bar and smart banquet seating that evokes the Golden Age of travel.

The hotel’s on-site team is expert at crafting bespoke events and takes a progressive approach to achieving mindful meetings, helping organisers to plan any conference room rental, from a high-profile board meeting requiring consummate privacy and security, to a global summit where the focus is on networking, with side pieces designed to spark conversation. Additional facilities such as the VIP Room are also available to make your business event stand out. This secluded area for important guests comes with an airy living room, private make-up and dressing area, plus a private bathroom.

After an eventful day of meetings, delegates won’t have far to retire to their deluxe abode, thanks to the hotel’s 100 refined guest rooms and suites. Every room features a private terrace or balcony, with elegant design details and superfast Wi-Fi. Fine-dining options range from Italian delights at Olea Bosphorus & The Bar to innovative East-meets-West fusion dishes at Novikov Istanbul. Meanwhile leisure facilities encompass an ethereal ‘destination spa’, plus indoor and outdoor swimming pools designed to keep guests entertained long after business has concluded.
